Capítulo 1155: Chapter 49: True Form of the Decayed Great Tao River

Wang Sheng painstakingly delivered the blood of Witch Beasts to the starry sky where the Spark Civilization was located, and engraved runes on a clone.

Initially, he didn’t hold much expectation for the outcome.

He was merely trying it casually; if it succeeded, great, if not, there was no loss to him.

However, the result shocked him.

This attempt was not only successful but also unexpectedly fruitful.

He once again saw the decaying path from when he first engraved cultivation runes.

Only the first time he saw it as an unknown illusion, and this time, he saw the “entity” of the decaying path.

Just one step, and he could directly enter it and experience the decaying path firsthand.

Naturally, Wang Sheng wouldn’t be so rash.

“To think there really exists such a decaying path, why didn’t I discover it when I perceived the Starry Sky Dao of this starry sky before?”

Every time he arrived at a different starry sky, the first thing he did was perceive the Dao to see if there were any differences between the basic rules of the new starry sky and those of the starry skies he was previously in.

The starry sky where the Spark Civilization was located was no exception.

Before, even when he perceived it, albeit there was the presence of Dust Beasts in this starry sky, it didn’t differ from the rules of the Old Land, New Land starry skies, the Starry Sky Dao River was the same, no more, no less.

He didn’t notice anything about the decaying path.

But now, it presented itself fully in his view.

“Should I enter?”

Wang Sheng was very hesitant; from appearance alone, the decaying path didn’t look like a good place.

If other Dao Rivers were incredibly clear and pure as could be, then the decaying path was piled with endless garbage, constantly emitting a putrid smell, as if passing through it alone would make one absorb that odor, compelling avoidance.

But on the other hand, it was clear that the decaying path definitely hid many secrets.

After contemplating outside the decaying path for a long time, Wang Sheng ultimately chose to leave it be.

“A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall; though I don’t know how the decaying path formed, it’s certainly not simple. In uncertain circumstances, it’s best not to enter and investigate, though other tests can be conducted.”

In the starry sky of Spark Civilization, summoning the decaying path.

Then what about in the Old Land?

Thus, he decided to conduct the experiment in the starry sky of the Old Land too.

A clone engraved cultivation runes on its body.

And the ultimate result was as expected.

“Indeed, the Old Land couldn’t summon the decaying path, and the difference between the starry skies lies in the presence of Dust Beasts… Does that mean Dust Beasts were born from the decaying path?”

“No, not necessarily; it’s quite possible that Dust Beasts polluted the decaying path, sealing it to the extent even I couldn’t easily discover, only through the blood of Witch Beasts, indicating potential issues with the seal…”

Wang Sheng didn’t think he was responsible for loosening the seal.

Needless to say, the early appearance of Dust Beasts was a good indication.

Also, the starry sky of the Great Wilderness was even more special.

“Now, it seems the so-called runes may not be manifestations of the Dao but could instead represent the source power of Witch Beasts.”

He even thought the latter idea seemed more plausible.

After all, to use rune power initially, leaving the blood of Witch Beasts was impossible.

Utilizing the blood of Witch Beasts to communicate with the source of Witch Beasts, employing their power.

And Witch Beasts and Dust Beasts shared an inexplicable connection.

In the starry sky where the Great Wilderness is, Dust Beasts have progressively merged into the starry sky. Is this a good thing?

Wang Sheng didn’t think the answer was optimistic.

The Starry Sky Rules had deliberately locked it, yet some power still seeped out, something that didn’t seem good in any way.

Contemplating further, he once again looked at the decaying path.

Within the river, stench permeated, eerie and sinister, lacking the occasional turbulent surges of normal Dao Rivers.

But he dared not underestimate it.

“Regardless of whether this decaying path is polluted by Dust Beasts or it itself is the source of Dust Beasts, it can be confirmed as a Dao, then, which Dao is it?”

“Destiny?”

“Or perhaps something else?”

Wang Sheng felt it might be related to the Dao of Destiny.

Before, when Destiny Threads appeared, Dust Beasts showed up immediately.

If it were truly the Dao of Destiny, perhaps it could “transform waste into treasure.”

“Is it possible to gain some insight, and improve my progress.”

No matter how decayed, it still is a Dao.

“But if insight is to be gained, how should one begin?”

To gain insight into the decaying path, he truly didn’t have a good method.

But simply giving up wasn’t something he was willing to do either.

Thus, he began experimenting.

It didn’t take too long to discover a solution.

And the method was using the runes acquired from the Great Wilderness.

“These runes indeed relate to the Dao, but they can only exert effects where the decaying Dao River exists.”

Previously, he tried engraving in the starry sky of the Old Land.

Unfortunately, it had no effect at that time, only improving his drawing skills.

Hence he suspected they could only exert effects in the starry sky of the Great Wilderness.

But now, it appears they exert effects where the decaying path exists.

“These runes aren’t simple manifestations of Dao runes, nor are they powers from Witch Beast sources or Dust Beast sources, but arise from the intertwining and blending of two powers, themselves representing two powers…” In places with extraordinary power, able to touch the Dao, Wang Sheng’s advantage in the Thirteen Realms becomes apparent.
